Itunes & sony mp3 player

Hi to whomever can help me-
I just bought a mac, but I already had a Sony mp3 player which already has all my music on it. Is it possible to transfer music to it, or is itunes only compatible with ipods?
thanks!
Laura

Ya you should be able to use it with iTunes just fine. But not automatically like an iPod can.
One way is if the Sony shows up as a standard drive on the computer (it should right?) you can probably drag and drop tunes directly from the iTunes window onto the Sony. It should make a copy on the Sony. If not, then you can always do it outside of iTunes by simply going into the iTunes folder and drilling down to the songs or albums you want and manually dragging and dropping them into the Sony.
Just make sure you set up the iTunes preferences for importing to use MP3 files to keep your library compatible with the Sony. By default, after you install iTunes starts set up for importing as AAC files (MPEG4).

  • Got a SONY mp3 player for Christmas: How do I sync with iTunes?

    OK, here's the deal. I have a MacBook Pro and use iTunes regularly, but now I have a SONY mp3 player from Santa. How do I get my songs from iTunes onto my SONY? Someone help. Thanks!

    I have tried this with a SanDisk mp3 player, so I am not sure if it would work with a Sony - don't see why not..
    Open your iTunes, build a playlist of songs you want to put in the Walkman.
    Connect the Walkman and when the icon mounts on the desktop, open the Finder window to it - if it has a .mp3 folder inside, ('cos the sony devices have multiple folders in some instances), open that. Drag and drop the playlist of songs - (the list not the sidebar icon for it) into the .mp3 folder, and it should copy the files right in. iTunes itself will not likely 'see' the Walkman, but the Finder does, and will treat it like a new storage volume - which it is. You just build the iTunes playlists to tell the Finder what to copy.

  • I have an ipod and Itunes account, how do I add my daughters new Sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

    I have and ipod and itunes account, how do I add my daughter's new sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

    Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
    If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

  • Itunes with a sony mp3 player

    I just bought my brother a Sony MP3 player for Christmas.  I would like to put music on it for him before giving it to him but I have a Mac.  Is there a way I can do that with Itunes or not?  How can i get my Mac to recognize the Sony MP3 plater, is there an App?

  • My Sony mp3 player synced with my iphoto. How do I unsync it? It no longer shows up as a device in my Finder window.

    I plugged my Sony mp3 player into my mac mini, Snow Leopard, and it synced with my iphoto. Now it does not show up as a device anywhere, not even iphoto. When I plug in the mp3 via its usb, it opens iphoto. How do I stop this and get it back as a device in my Finder window so I can load songs on it again.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

    What does Sony say?  Sony and Apple are not on the best of terms.

    Restore from your most current backup.

  • Software conflict between iPhoto and Sony MP3 player

    I am experiencing a major software conflict between iPhoto and my Sony MP3 player (model: NWZ-E443). In the past, whenever I connect the MP3 to my 2009 MacBook Pro, iPhoto always opened. I would simply close iPhoto and everything would be OK, though. But after upgrading iPhoto a few months ago via an upgrade download I am now unable to view images full-screen. Although thumbnails display OK, when I double-click on any of them to display full-screen, the MP3's 'Do Not Disconnect' image displays full-screen instead, even when the MP3 is not connected.
    I have tried reinstalling iPhoto from the original iLife disc, but this didn't work and my fear is that the Sony software has somehow corrupted every image single file in my library.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

  • Export Itunes to MP3 Player

    Hi,
    I have music in Itunes that I copied there from CDs that I own.  I want to share that with my elderly mom who plays music on her Droid phone's MP3 Player.  How should I do that?
    Thanks Sharon

    Consult the documentation for the Android device.

  • ITunes, Windows & mp3 player

    Hey All,
    I received a iTunes gift card for Christmas which is great, but here's the problem. I have 'another' MP3 player (which is not an iPod.....Zen micro) & I went to purchase a song, but it would not transfer over to the MP3 player. Is that true? Will it not work on my Zen micro? If so, this gift was completely useless to me, right? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    That's right, the iTMS sells AAC songs, purchased songs have an m4p file extension.
    Use up your gift card, then burn those songs to an audio CD. Re-rip them back into your PC as MP3 files.
    That is the only way to get them on your Zen.

  • Cant Upload Mp3 files to Sony Mp3 player

    Hi,
    My g/f has a Sony 'Walkman' Mp3 player and I can't upload Mp3s from my ibook to her player. Or, more precisely, the player appears on my desktop and in my finder and I can copy the Mp3 files to it. However, when we disconnect the player the files are not there to be played. Or, at least we can't find them.
    My 'Transcend' Mp3 player made in Taiwan has no such problem. Is this a Sony problem? What to do does anyone know?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, this one I can answer myself. Sony doesn't support Macs.

  • Sync itunes to mp3 player

    Can I sync songs purchased from the itunes store to a Mp3 player? If so, how?

    Not directly no. iTunes does not directly support other players. If the tracks you purchased are iTunes Plus (which has no copy protection), then if your player only supports MP3 (and not AAC, the native iTunes Store format) the tracks can be converted to MP3 which you could then sync to your player by whatever process it uses. Another option for synching might be iTunes Agent.

  • Trnasferring itunes to mp3 player

    yes i am stupid. but i cannot download my itunes to my mp3 player. sansung.
    or is it because itunes or only for ipods?

    Only the iPod/iPhone range and the iTunes enabled phones from Motorola are compatible with iTunes for Windows and with the standard copy protected songs from the iTunes Music Store. If your MP3 player shows up in Windows Explorer and allows you to drag and drop music files then you should be able to add compatible files directly from your iTunes Music folder.

  • Itunes to MP3 player?

    I purchased a song from Itunes and can't figure out how to sync it to my MP3 player. Can I transport the song to Windows Media Player so I could rip it into MP3? Please help!

    Thanks, I was able to change the setting in Preferences but it said it does not apply to purchased itunes or something like that
    iTunes Plus songs can be converted in iTunes.
    When I rightclick the Itune, there was nothing that would prompt me to convert it to MP3.
    If you see 'Create MP3 version', choose it.

  • When is CreSUCKive going to make an iTunes compatible MP3 player?

    They would probably inch their market share over 0% maybe?
    Of course it will be a buggy piece of s**t, that a few crackers will rationalize buying while everyone else iPods it... ohh my flash player is purple and it costs more than the iPod but it has FM radio whaaa whaaa.
    Don't get you panties in knot over this creSUCKi've buying little girls ,nobody cares.

    are you some sort of a moron? If u dont like creative products return them and go get what u want. Dont go around insulting the product left right and center. If ur happy with an ipod fine, the use that. As for me. Apple and the whole MAC world can go down the drain. PC is the most simple way to go.
    Oh and cresucki've, think about this if u can. Ipod comes from apple, ofcourse they will make it compatible to itunes. The creative products are meant to be used with PC and Windows Media Player. Learn this st and then post something, friggin idiot.
